New Drug Testing Policy Approved by Westboro School Committee

A new policy that will make it mandatory for students to submit to a saliva test if suspected of being drunk or high on drugs while at school or while attending a school function has been approved by the Westboro School Committee.

The policy is an outgrowth of an existing anti-drug and alcohol policy that has been in place for years. The new policy complies with the guidelines of the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association.
